Lucas

Last week I mentioned that I'd be introducing a new friend soon. I am a member of a Facebook group called Pem Pals and have met some wonderful corgi lovers all over the world. One of these friends lives in Pennsylvania. I've been following this sweet story for a couple weeks and have been so touched by Jenifer's love for this little guy. I think you will be too!

The following was written by his new mom, Jenifer:

Our first corgi, Cowboy,
went to the bridge in January. I wanted to wait to get another dog, but my
husband wanted to get one sooner rather than later. My friend was having an online auction for Horizon
Animal Heroes, the rescue that had Lucas, and that is where I saw a picture of
him. At first I didn't even consider trying to adopt him because I wasn't sure
I was ready and he was in Oklahoma.
Then I thought, why not, people have dogs transported all the time, we can give
him a great home and even though I wanted to wait I was really lonely being at
home by myself all day long. I emailed the rescue and they said they would do
an out of state adoption and before I knew it I was trying to figure out how to
get Lucas to us. I filled out an application with one transport company and it was
accepted, but then it was a waiting game to see if and when anyone would be
available to take him. In the mean time I happened to see a
"sponsored" post on FB for a transport company. I called them up on
Sunday night and the following Thursday Lucas was on his long 1200+ mile
journey home! I was nervous about getting a dog that I had never met, but there
is an 8 year old boy, Michael, who helps out at the rescue and he had played
with Lucas so I knew he would be okay with my two girls. Lucas was found as a
stray with a leg that had been broken and it was not able to be fixed so he had
to have it amputated.

He arrived last Sunday and looks so happy with his new family. What a sweet boy! If you would like to follow his progress, he has his own Facebook page (search for Lucas).

He is a beautiful dog! I am so glad he has a happy ending. I'd love to bring home a corgi puppy but I am having a hard time finding one! Of the photos I have seen posted by breeders, none of the puppies look happy. That just doesn't seem right because corgis are so bright and cheerful. Thank you for sharing this story.
